Chapter 237 - Chapter 237 A Demon Lords faithful servant

The man sat there high above the ground as he looked around and shouted "You may either submit to me and die and quick and painful death or you can end up like this idiot who dares challenge me." The people began to talk amongst themselves as Lily, Mira, and Mary all walked over to Thomas and said "We have to stop him or he'll destroy this whole city." The demon stared at them and smiled as he said "You have quite a few people with you, perhaps I'll kill them first." Thomas glared at him with a sinister look and said "Lay a hand on them and take the head off of your shoulders." The man pointed at Thomas and said "Maybe I'll kill you first and leave them to greave before I kill them." As the purple and black orb began to head towards them Thomas began to walk towards it. Thomas stopped moving for a moment as he glanced back at them and said "Do me a favor and get as far away from here as possible." Mary and Lily both began to chase after Thomas as they shouted "No don't, you'll die!" Mira grabbed both of them and said "Don't worry he won't lose, he just doesn't want us here to witness him kill someone else." As the purple and black orb sat a few feet away from Thomas he smiled and said "I'll give you a chance, if you quit now your free to go and live a normal life." The man smiled and said "Such naive thoughts will be your downfall." Thomas sighed and said "Well it was worth a shot." Thomas grabbed the ball and held it near his face as he smiled and said "Guess I have no choice but to end this." As blood began to drip down his hand he glanced back at the others and said "Please forgive me for what I'm about to do." Mira began to drag Lily and Mary away as she said "Come on we should go so he can have some peace of mind." As Thomas turned back around he stared at the orb and crushed it. Thomas glanced at the man who was now staring at Thomas in shock as he shouted "How did you destroy it?" Thomas began to walk towards him as he said "That doesn't matter right now, but I did give you a chance, you should've taken it." The man began to lower to the ground as he said "I know it must be this stupid human flesh blocking my powers." The man dig his nails into the back of his skull and began to pry the layer of skin off as he said "Once I remove this useless flesh suit I'll end you for sure." The crowd of people all stared in terror as he tore the skin suit off and tossed it aside. Thomas stared at him unamused and said "Your gonna give some kids nightmares if you do stuff like that." The demon held his hand up at Thomas and began to laugh as he said "Your as good as dead now!" Thomas began to walk towards him as he said "I probably shouldn't feel much remorse for killing someone like you, but I feel as though I should apologize." Thomas pointed to him and said "I suppose I can make your death at least memorable." As a purple beam shoot from the demon's hand he shouted "Shut the hell up and die!" Thomas quickly grabbed his sword back off of the ground and cut the beam in half as he shouted "Your attack needs more power, this just isn't enough." Thomas began to walk towards him while cutting the beam as he said "This whole fight is pretty pointless." Once Thomas was a few inches away from the demon he sliced his hand off and said "I'm sure we can still work something out if you wanna stop now." The demon fell back and held his hand as he shouted "Is this some sort of sick game to you?" Thomas put his sword to the demon's throat and asked "Why would you think that?" The demon stared at Thomas and nervously said "You've been toying with me this entire time, and yet you still have the nerve to offer me mercy." Thomas tossed the sword aside and squatted down in front of him as he said "It's not like my goal is to make you look pathetic, I'd just rather not have to kill again." The demon smiled and said "You don't have it in you to kill do you?" Thomas grabbed the demon's head and said "Perhaps you didn't hear me say again." Thomas began to squeeze the demon's head as he said "If I continue to add force I wonder how long it'll take for your skull to be crushed." The demon began to try and pull Thomas's hand off of his head as he shouted "You wouldn't wanna do that!" Thomas loosened his grip as he asked "And why's that?" The demon smiled and said "If you kill me all of my brethren will hunt you down." Thomas began to squeeze his head even tighter as he said "If they come they'll meet the same fate as you." The demon began to claw at Thomas's hand as he shouted "No wait, maybe I have information you need!" Thomas loosened his grip once more as he said "You got my attention, let's hear what you have to offer." The demon let out a sigh of relieve and said "The demon lord revival is near when that time comes not even you will be safe, so why don't I tell you one of her weaknesses." Thomas leaned in closer and said "Spill it before I spill your brains all over this nice pathway." The demon nervously shouted "She has a weakness for sweets!" Thomas stared at him confused and asked "Is that really a weakness?" The demon nodded and said "I'm sure if you give her something sweet she'll happily let you live." Thomas let go of his head and said "I guess we're done here." As Thomas picked his sword and jacket back up the demon smiled and said "You fool turning your back on me will be your final mistake." The demon aimed his hand at Thomas and said "Ill send you to the afterlife." Thomas glanced at him and seen another purple beam heading towards him as he mumbled "Does he want to die that badly?" Thomas appeared behind him and mumbled "This unbelievable bastard is still trying to kill me." Thomas held the sword above him with the point right above his chest. Thomas smiled and said "Let's make sure all of my mana is touching this." The demon glanced at him and shouted "Wait no please give me another chance!" As the sword came down onto and through his chest it dented the ground. Thomas sighed and said "And to think I was this close to not killing him. Thomas lifted the sword from his chest and mumbled "I hope the others didn't see this." As Thomas stood there the announcer lady walked over to him and handed him a pouch with ten gold in it as she said "It may not be much but we decided that we should give you this as thanks for protecting the city." Thomas stared at the bag and said "But isn't this just the prize for winning your little contest between guilds?" Thomas tossed her the bag of gold and said "You know what just forget about it and use that ten gold to make repairs to whatever was destroyed during that fight." Thomas stared at the corpse and said "I'll take of the body, just give me a minute." Thomas crouched down by the body and put his hand on its shoulder and teleported outside of the city. Thomas began to bury the body using mold earth as he said "Guess that's another to add to the list." Thomas stood up he began to walk back into the city as he said and said "It seems like death follows me no matter where I go." As he reached the entrance of the city Mira, Mary, and Lily were there waving to him as they shouted "We knew you'd win!" Thomas stared at them and mumbled "I don't think I can ever call killing someone a win." Thomas slapped both of his cheeks and mumbled "Just forget about it, I'm sure many people believe he deserved it." Thomas shook his head and smiled as he asked "How did you guys know I'd be here?" Mira smiled and said "I figured you would be here because you bury the bodies of all the people you kill, that and it was the closest exit of the city so you most likely teleport here to conserve some mana." Thomas glanced away and said "I don't bury them all, I just bury the ones I have time to." Mira smiled and kissed him on his cheek as she said "Then I'm happy to hear that you made time to bury my father." Thomas held his cheek and said "You knew I buried him?" Mira nodded and said "Of course, Poppy told me awhile back."
